2017 Innovation Cafe: Improving Key Health Metrics

What: This is a forum for Oregon health system transformation champions to engage in peer-to-peer learning and networking. CCO, clinic and other innovative health system leaders will present projects and discuss learnings focused on three CCO incentive metrics:

• Increasing effective contraceptive use to reduce unintended pregnancy

• Reducing tobacco prevalence

• Reducing emergency department use with a focus on behavioral health

Plenary speakers will include Ignatius Bau, a national expert who provides technical assistance to advance health equity; and Patty Cason, a consultant and clinician trainer who specializes in increasing access to comprehensive patient-centered contraceptive services.
